After solving Puzzle 010, you'll unlock this mini-game in Professor Layton's trunk. Madame Lapushka charges you with stacking shelves with intention of catching her customers' eye. Stocking correctly means the customer will buy out everything on the shelf.

The shelves are arranged in a grid, and the customer always buys the first item that Madame Lapushka sets out. This item cannot be moved. After buying the first item, the customer will buy one item in an adjacent square as long as it matches the type or color of the original item, then will repeat. So in this way, you have to create a line where every item is touching one other item that matches its type or color.

Customers will become confused and leave if their item is touching more than one item that matches colors and/or types, or if they're not touching any similar item.

One rule that isn't given in the tutorial is that items must rest on the actual shelves of the aisle, not necessarily just anywhere on the entire grid. That means to stack items, you'll have to place lower items first.
